GOD Is a Who, Not a Why
GOD is a who, not a why. He does not owe you an explanation, but he offers you a relationship. This one I heard at Church of all places. Pastor John Reeve, The Cause Church, Brea, CA.
“Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true GOD, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”
Shepherd's Note
In His high priestly prayer, Jesus defines eternal life not as answers but as knowledge of a Person. To know GOD is the life itself, which means the relationship is not the consolation prize for unanswered questions; it is the treasure the questions were never the point of. A why can be resented. A Who can be trusted. The man who trades his demand for explanations for the gift of knowing Him has not settled for less. He has received the thing itself.
